A Playstation where you would be able to customize or matterfact any system would be a gamer's dream, too bad it wont happen.

I think this gen brought out all the hype for graphics and such, next gen should go back to gameplay imo.

Agreed. These specs would still put the ps4 above the ps3 by a good margin, but more importantly the games would still be great even if they don't look like a pc game on ultra settings.

Graphics and gameplay capabilities go hand in hand, new experiences are created through hardware improvements. Creativity will be available no matter the hardware, but a lack of power limits it.

being limited also forces you  to try new ways and new things, so it can boost creativity too as much as not being limited can boost lazyness. I say more than hand on hand it should be a balance, and that balance was kind of rupted this gen. So a little jump in graphics and most of time dedicated to gamplay should bring next gen to a good balance again.

I doubt that is how the developers view it. Their goal is to create good games, not be lazy because they are putting all their time and money into a game that happens to have more power. If that was true then wouldn't we see games with new amazing concepts on less powerful systems and the same things over again on more powerful ones? I think if you were to actually evaluate the concepts in modern games you'd find it favors capability freedom over forced improvisation.
